[Spacewalk-list] Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: centos6-x86_64. Please verify its path and try again

[Alexander Innes]

Yup sometimes it hangs when doing the repodata, you can try
rm -rf /var/cache/rhn/repodata/centos_6_whatever
softwarechannel_regenerateyumcache   centos_6_whatever
yum update

failing that
spacewalk-service restart
